America = Sarcasm.
@HK: Well, have you ever seen a black man using a ladder?
Didn't think so.
it wasnt easy to find, but apparently, some do:
Some Americans do. But even the ones who do might have trouble with the particular brand of sarcasm that Britons make use of. And of course the British habit of drastically understating things has its mirror here in the dramatic overstating of things, so if you conflate these two masteries of yours, as is surely bound to happen, I'm sure a great many Americans would be left looking like this:
All props. He just climbs the trees with a chainsaw between his teeth.
You are clearly overstating our understatement. Stop it.
What the hell kind of ignorant question is that It's like asking whether black people can use ladders.
So is it true that Americans don't use and/or understand sarcasm, or is it just a myth?
